In a now-deleted post, Dustin replied “OTW (on the way)” to the content creator’s message, “andito po ko sa bahay charot.”

Dustin addressed the resurfaced post on X and clarified the context of his comment.

Australian-Filipino director James J. Robinson’s debut film, "First Light", has been selected as Australia’s official entry to the 2027 Oscars’ Best International Feature Film category.

Starring Ruby Ruiz, among several other Filipino actors, the film follows the story of Sister Yolanda, a middle-aged Catholic nun, who begins to question her faith after a construction worker dies under suspicious circumstances.

As the Church and state pressure her to stay silent, she begins to question the institution she has devoted her life to.

Joining Ruby in the film are Maricel Soriano, Rez Cortez, Soliman Cruz, Emmanuel Santos, Lui Manansala, Kara Adea, and Kidlat Tahimik.

The MTV Video Music Awards are returning to the West Coast this month and they’ve got a very West Coast host — Snoop Dogg.

The rapper and entrepreneur will MC the telecast live from Los Angeles on Sept. 27, marking the first time since 2017 that the VMAs have picked a location that’s not in New York or New Jersey.

The VMAs are scheduled to air simultaneously from the Peacock Theater on CBS, MTV, and Paramount+.
Snoop Dogg is a 13-time VMAs nominee and has won three of the Moon Man awards. Snoop made his debut on the VMAs stage in 1994. In 1999, he closed the show with Dr. Dre and Eminem. He returned for a tribute to the Notorious B.I.G. and again for a performance with Eminem in 2022.

“MTV and the VMAs have been part of my story since the beginning,” he said in a statement. “Some of the biggest moments of my career happened on that stage and on MTV — they gave hip-hop a place to be loud, fearless and seen by the whole world. So to come back now and host the VMAs, all these years later, that’s a full-circle moment for me.” (AP)

Love wins. Bea Alonzo and her husband, businessman Vincent Co have upped and left Manila and the controversy surrounding Bea’s hiring a new management team. The couple are said to be honeymooning in Italy and possibly other parts of Europe.

It’s the season of confessions of old secrets. Veteran actress Pilar Pilapil admitted in an interview that all her leading men tried to court her. “Sexy din naman ako noon,” she said. No doubt Pilar, a former Miss Philippines, remains one of the most beautiful faces in local cinema.

Jaclyn Smith, on the cover of a new September 2026 issue of People magazine, confessed a co-actor once asked her to engage in a th*****me. The veteran actress, one of the pioneering Charlie’s Angels cast members, spoke of pay differences, wild on-set behavior, topped off by her heartbreaking final moments with co-Angel Farrah Fawcett, who died of cancer. Fifty years after Charlie’s Angels debuted on American TV, the show, and its stars, including Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd, remain hot.

Former Senator Joey Lina launches his album of original compositions on Friday, September 18, 2026, at The Manila Hotel’s Tap Room. If I were to make a wild guess, I imagine they will be songs about love of country and environment, some religious songs, as well as songs that inspire. When he’s not being president of Manila Hotel, Atty. Lina tunes up his vocal cords as a singer. He’s a mean baritone who used to do concerts with two other former government officials, now deceased.

Seungri, 35, a former member of K-pop boy band Big Bang, is facing a complaint for allegedly assaulting a man.

It was reported that the Seoul Gangnam Police Station received a complaint alleging special violence against Seungri last Aug. 25.

The complaint accused Seungri of assaulting a man in his 30s while dining at a restaurant in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

Under Article 261 of Korea’s Criminal Act, special violence “is committed through the threat of collective force or by carrying a dangerous weapon.” The offender faces imprisonment of up to five years or a fine of up to 10 million won (about $7,426).

JOhn Malkovich has canceled a pallned performance in Israel after promoters circulated a quote attributed to him that he said was completely false.

The producer of the show acknowledged the mistake, citing “human error.”
Israel has faced growing cultural isolation in recent years over the war in Gaza, settler violence and its military occupation of the West Bank. A number of international artists have refused to perform in Israel, and the Israel Festival, an annual cultural event, went ahead without a single international act this year.

Malkovich was slated to perform “The Music Critic,” a touring comedy featuring classical music and criticism of world-famous composers, in Tel Aviv in April. (AP)

With fake news, misleading posts and unverified claims continuing to spread online, knowing what is true has become more difficult and more important than ever.

A viral post can reach thousands of people before anyone has time to check where the information came from. A rumor can quickly be mistaken for fact, while breaking news can change as new information emerges.

So how do journalists separate fact from what is merely being passed around?

Reina Filipinas queens Angelica Lopez, Alexie Brooks, and Anne Patricia Lorenzo are more than just pretty faces with glittering crowns on their heads. They also have a purpose: to serve as role models for modern Filipinas.

We got a glimpse of that recently when the three queens shared what winning their respective titles means to them.

“For me, winning the crown is to really live my purpose. I've been an advocate for underprivileged kids since I was 17 years old. And whenever I tell my story of growing up in a humble household, I was very intentional about it,” Lopez, who is Reina Filipinas Grand International 2026, told us during a recent visit to the Manila Bulletin office.

For Apolinario “Apol” Medina Jr., love seems simple.

He has a crush on his music teacher, Ma’am Ai. She understands his love for music, appreciates his singing and, in the eyes of the grade schooler, is pretty much everything he could want in a first love.

There is just one problem.
